About us

Some information about Foster Care Cardiff…

As a Local Authority, we, at The City of Cardiff Council have a legal responsibility for looked after children.

We have our own dedicated Fostering Team but like many other local authorities in Wales, there are not enough approved foster carers to meet the needs of all the children who need a foster home.

We always prioritise placements with individuals registered with us but if we can’t find an appropriate match for a child with a foster home from within our own Fostering Register, we have to look for placements from independent fostering agencies.
